Make your exercise choices truly personal

There’s no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’ approach to exercise. DNA Fit’s Fitness Diet Pro will help you understand how your body responds to power or endurance training, your resilience to sports injury, and recovery speed, to make your exercise choices right for you.

Discover a world of personalized nutrition

You’re not the same as everybody else, so why should your nutrition be?

WHAT MAKES DNAFIT DIFFERENT

Get the deepest insights

Since DNAFit began in 2013, we’ve taken cutting edge science out of the laboratory and into the hands of tens of thousands of people, helping them understand how their DNA affects their response to exercise and nutrition changes, to change the way we train and eat, one DNA sample at a time.

Plus, we know that genetics is only one part of the picture, so we never overstate the application of DNA in the real world. The value you’ll find from your DNAFit experiences comes from understanding your genetic profile in conjunction with your goals, lifestyle, and environment—the whole picture.

The science

Your physical fitness is largely determined by how often you exercise, the type of training you do, your body type, and how much you enjoy competing in specific sports. Genetic variants related to fitness and weight loss are connected to the way that your body processes food and responds to exercise, but they do not guarantee that you will or will not be successful with any given diet plan.

Your DNA may help you narrow in on new diet plans or exercises that you might prefer or find more successful than others, or even just a better understanding of your existing preferences. Everyone, regardless of their genetics, will benefit from increased exercise and a well-balanced diet.

Impact

Genetics can help, but your diet and exercise choices have the biggest impact on your weight.

Limitations

This product will not provide any medical information.

Genetic results are based on population-wide studies. What is true at a population level average may not be true at an individual level.

Results may be more accurate for individuals of certain genetic backgrounds.

Results do not determine or limit your ability to gain or lose weight.

Our understanding of how genetics influences metabolism and physical performance will improve with more research.
